Copilot not working in notebooks

Hi, I'm finding that Copilot doesn't work for me in notebooks (Chat sidebar or at the top of cells), but works in other parts of the platform (e.g. in pipelines) and even for the Copilot completions ...

  • Copilot in notebooks (chat pane/top cell chat) is a separate preview experience from the inline code suggestions you see as you type, so the fact suggestions work but chat fails is consistent with known behavior/limitations.

  • Copilot conversational features in notebooks require certain tenant and workspace settings to be enabled, especially the “Data sent to Azure OpenAI can be processed outside your capacity’s geographic region” setting in the Fabric admin portal if your workspace isn’t in a supported Azure OpenAI region.

  • If that setting is not applied or hasn’t propagated, the chat pane will repeatedly return “Something went wrong. Check your request…” even though other Copilot functionality appears to work.

  • Some tenant configurations (ex: private link) will disable the notebook Copilot chat experience entirely while leaving inline suggestions functional.

    Thanks for getting back to me Vinodh. Tenant-level private link is disabled and the following three settings are enabled (and have been for a while), so I'm not sure that's the issue:

     - Users can use Copilot and other features powered by Azure OpenAI
     - Data sent to Azure OpenAI can be processed outside your capacity's geographic region, compliance boundary, or national cloud instance
     - Data sent to Azure OpenAI can be stored outside your capacity's geographic region, compliance boundary, or national cloud instance
